<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus which allows easy maintenance of a cleaning unit and separation of a developer carrier from a photoreceptor while keeping the positional accuracy of the photoreceptor, in a simple configuration. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus comprises: a photoreceptor drum 16; a belt cleaner 81 for removing waste toner from a conveying belt 24 facing the photoreceptor drum 16; a waste toner storage part 112 integrally provided to a black developing cartridge 15K supplying toner to the photoreceptor drum 16; and a lift 61 connected to the belt cleaner 81 and the waste toner storage part 112 and conveying the waste toner from the belt cleaner 81 to the waste toner storage part 112. By rocking the black developing cartridge 15K using a connection part of the lift 61 and the waste toner storage part 112 as a fulcrum, a developing roller 19 is separated from the photoreceptor drum 16. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
